Tom Holland and Daisy Ridley's Sci-Fi Adventure Film CHAOS WALKING Release Pushed Back Again
Lionsgate has pushed the release date back for its sci-fi adventure film Chaos Walking again. The film was supposed to be released on January 25th, 2021. Now it’s being released on March 5th. This movie was originally supposed to hit theaters in 2019.
Chaos Walking comes from director Doug Liman and it stars Daisy Ridley and Tom Holland. The post-apocalyptic film is an adaptation of Patrick Ness‘s young adult trilogy and the movie is described as follows:
Todd Hewitt lives on the distant planet of New World—a new hope for humanity until struck by “The Noise,” a virus which inflicts immersive visions of ones’ every thought. The cacophony drives many mad until Todd makes a hidden, silent discovery: there is a girl named Viola, who may be the key to unlocking New World’s many-layered secrets. Together, the two unlikely companions are forced on a white-knuckle adventure into an unexplored planet – trying to escape and hide in an environment where all thought is heard, all movement seen –as they both discover the truth about the lives they left behind and the spectacular world they’ve learned to call home.
Holland (Captain America: Civil War, Spider-Man: Homecoming) plays Todd Hewlitt in the film and Ridley (Star Wars: The Force Awakens, Star Wars: The Last Jedi) plays Viola Eade, and co-stars Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story) as Mayor Prentiss, Nick Jonas (Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle) as Davy Prentiss Jr., Demian Bichir (Alien: Covenant) as Ben, Sons of Anarchy creator Kurt Sutter as Cillian, and David Oyelowo (Selma, Interstellar) as Aaron.
The reason why the film took so long to be released is because after Lionsgate executives took a look at the film, they deemed it “unreleasable.” That was after they pumped millions more into the production to do three weeks worth of reshoots to try and make the movie work. I guess we’ll see how it turns out!
